PRISON.

"Interesting characters write their own stories in our heads."

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF BENJAMIN MURPHY
A Central New York Ghost Story
Based on a dream, it tells the story of meeting a ghost on an Uber ride. This ghost, Benjamin Murphy, lived in the last half of the 1800s in Central New York. He was murdered in 1893 over a gold pocket watch. During a very unnerving ride to McGraw, New York, he tells me that he wants me to write a book about him in hopes that it will keep his spirit alive, which he believes will stop him from being “gone” to the shadow world.
I am later haunted by this ghost, leaving me to wonder if I even want to write his story.
Includes actual historical content.
To Be Launched in February 2024
